To the best of my knowledge Yarn doesn't allow the importation of
headers only.
As for hoovering binaries from Usenet, I think you'd be a whole lot
happier using Forte Agent since it can download all the headers in a
newsgroup for browsing offline. You can then mark all the message
bodies you want to download, go online, and have it download 'em.
